In Sikhism, a langar (Punjabi: ਲੰਗਰ, ‘kitchen’) is the community kitchen of a gurdwara, which serves meals to all free of charge, regardless of religion, caste, gender, economic status, or ethnicity. People sit on the floor and eat together, and the kitchen is maintained and serviced by Sikh community volunteers.[2] The meals served at a langar are always vegetarian.
